Remember When

The new location is great. Very large, be sure to go upstairs. They have a lot of variety of booths.

Great antique mall! They are in the process of moving locations; I can’t wait to check out the new space. Great owners and super friendly staff. :)

Cool place to visit the past, everything is priced right at retail or above. You might find some treasures but I know that this place also does estate sale facilitating, which are also overpriced. This business has rooms for rent and almost all of the items are from persons that rent a spot, I’m sure there rent is too high hence there items must be overpriced. The business parking lot is full of holes so watch your tires and there is a Ln audio shop right next store, so the walls will be shaking while you shop! Good luck and I hope you find your treasure here.

I’m usually prompted to write a review when I find something terribly wrong with a business, but I can’t say enough great things about Remember When. It really is the best place to go in Modesto for antiques and decorating items. The place is HUGE (explore all the nooks and crannies — there are many, many dealer spaces and display cases, so it takes some time to see everything). I live in Modesto and stop in whenever I get a chance.
What I like most about this store is the variety. There’s everything from newer things like table linens, purses and other accessories to true, high-​end antiques. There’s also a good variety in price. If you have only a tiny amount of money to spend, you can find an inexpensive treasure. Or if you’re looking to furnish a whole house, you’ll have no problem. There’s a lot of shabby chic, but not all the vendors are in to that style. Plenty of «old stuff» and truly valuable «Antiques Roadshow» type items available, too.
One of the best things about the shop is that the individual vendors are encouraged to put their items on sale, so some of the sale spaces will have everything a certain percentage off, like 20 percent or higher (seems like there are always some spaces at 50 percent off). I’ve also gotten some fun do-​it-​yourself project ideas at Remember When.
Unlike a lot of places, I’ve never felt unwelcome or overly welcomed. I’m always greeted (staff is very friendly and helpful), but there is no pressure to buy anything. I’ve walked out without buying anything and been wished a happy day with a smile every time.
If you like to shop in secondhand stores, you will not be disappointed. While the prices aren’t thrift store cheap, they’re far, far cheaper than what you’ll find in the Bay Area or even Sacramento.

The staff and vendors work amazingly well together to create a «family». Don’t miss out on the up and coming parking lot sale… Scheduled for March 7 th at 9 am out in the Modesto parking lot of Remember When…

Love love this store so much to look at ! Everything is priced well can’t wait to go back for Christmas gifts!!! Go there if you love vintage things and shabby chic finds. Oakdale store is lovely also. Found a beautiful vintage lamp with shade for 17.50 on sale, support our small businesses

Drove an hour to get to the store. We were cutting it close thanks to traffic, but we made it at 5:45, so in time before they closed at 6:00. When we pulled up, an employee saw us and proceeded to lock the door. We went up to the door and a man and a woman poke their heads out and told us sorry but they already turned everything off so we were out of luck.
I’ve worked retail before and I understand how it is when customers come in right before closing. But it wasn’t past closing and we were looking to buy, not just loiter around. It’s too bad.
Onto the store itself; if you haven’t been to this store, I would recommend coming. They have a good mix of vendors and we always find something when we shop here.

I had let my experience go, but feel the need to update and let everyone know the harassment I have been receiving via this site from the owner, Kerri. Since my previous review I have received two emails from her — one immediately after, and one this weekend (well after my review). I will not go into the exact things said, but I will say there were plenty of exclamation points from her. Obviously she cannot deal with someone else having an opinion. I’d also like to point out I was not alone in my feelings as others have left reviews saying how they felt the place was a little off, and I know people who actually had spaces there at one point or another. It is your own choice, obviously, to visit a place or not and to shop there or choose not to. Unilocal is for people to leave honest reviews without feeling like they will be harassed, especially from the owner. If it continues, I will be reporting her.

The rating speaks for it’s self. let’s just leave it at the fact that my visit yesterday was somewhat less than scintillating. Still a lot of stuff, but just seemed off. Perhaps they were in a hurry to get out for the day.

This is such a hidden jewel. Truly something for everyone. I always love going in here to see what I can find tucked away. There are so many different booths to look at that have a little something different. And because there are so many different vendors there is always something new all the time, thats what I love the most!

I just got back from Carmel and this shop reminds me of all the little boutique shops that line the streets in Carmel. There are kitchy vintage items, new boutique style items. Handmade stuff. You really can get lost in there forever. I was having a yard sale and a woman told me about the huge antique store on McHenry. I had no idea where she was talking about and I drive Mchenry every day and I know all of the antique shops downtown. It is in the same lot as the Fishermans Gallery or Galley? It goes on forever and the prices and variety great. I know where I am shopping this Christmas!

i’ve been on a thrift store rampage lately and wouldn’t have found this one if my friend from LA hadn’t found it online. even though it’s on McHenry, it’s really hidden away (in the tiny strip mall behind the Fisherman’s Galley like the other review mentioned).
we decided to go check it out. we figured since it was called an antique mall… it must be big.
the place is massive. there are hallways and rooms everywhere. it’s one of those places with tons of booths rented to various vendors, all very well curated, so there is something for everyone’s tastes. the booths are about half new stuff half vintage/​antique (which is what i’m really looking for).
you need a good hour or more to browse through everything; but there is so much to see! furniture, dishware, collectibles, jewelry, clothing, household items… i was in heaven. the prices are a little all over the place because of the different vendors, but i found a couple items i couldn’t live without and luckily, the whole booth was 50% off.
they have a cute little set up at the front of the store that has a little seating area under beaded garlands with a popcorn machine! and like the other review mentioned, there is this adorable and most importantly, friendly little pomeranian that is shaved to look like a mini lion. omg. what is this magical place?!? is this real life?

A neat gem that’s hidden away in an obscure location. We would have never seen it if not for going to the Fisherman’s Galley. The prices are very reasonable and low overall — they have cool furniture, nice handmade items, nic nacs, clothes, and household items. The diversity makes the store much more interesting then standard antique faire. I’m not really sure how some of the items are being sold for so cheap (due to consignment costs) but then again — I’m not complaining. There was also cookies and candy in nearly every room to snack upon and a mascot — a little pomerenian with a lion mane hairdo. The building is really cool with endless rooms to peruse — it makes one wonder what was here before. The owner does follow around and fuss a little too much — I just chalked it up to that she is eager to help.

This is a cute store with nice items and decent prices as long as you don’t mind being followed around by the staff as if you’re a criminal! The owner is not very professional for a business woman — I had some issues over pricing and she was rude about it. In this economy, this place won’t last with this kind of customer service!
